Athma Darsan

Know self is nothing but understanding and realizing self.By realizing self what exactly we achieve?.We will have clear thoughts clear VISION AND SOULFULL LIVING in this as well as the future worlds till the time our self or the soul merges with the supreme soul.To realize what we are and what we will be and why we should be and all that comes to our mind while we are in this materialistic world.To guide us there were and are many Babas prophets and Swamijis who have known the path of self realization.Of late in all religions irrespective of its age are becoming corrupted by few such Babas swamijis and Gurujis.In fact in any religion. there was no emphasis on their scripts for a middle man or brokers to take them to the path of realization or Knowing self. Pure devotion is enough to realize the Soul-ATHMAN and Supreme soulPARAMATHMAN which are in ourselves.We even heard of stories that the devotion even by low sensed lives like spider,elephhant,a snake and an illiterate tribal got salvation. Supreme soul needs no recommendation from any Guru or partly realized soul to give salvation. To ward off our sufferings pure self realization/devotion is enough .In fact those who have realized themselves need nothing of salvation.They do not feel the pinch of anything in their body.We have read in Puranas that God heard the request of an elephant and saved it from the crocodile in water directly without any middle man/ Guru. Soul is part and partial of supreme soul may it be one sensed or many sensed.Our ignorance to understand the nature of self -soul creates havoc and society is spoiled. I am not atheist to comment on this.But today’s world has become more Guru oriented having false notions and commercial establishments winning crores of rupees in their so called trust. Are we not ashamed? Recent news on papers establish this.We need to reform the society from false notions and beliefs.I would like youngsters to take the lead in this to avoid total collapse of the human society.We cannot at this stage of material world attain salvation and realization .But we can atleast have a knowledge/view of our self ie Athman from a distance. Means to have some knowledge on self/Soul.Basic understanding of soul is required to have a view ie to think on those lines.Before that let us Learn first how the universe works, how life works, how the human mind and emotion system works. All knowledge leads to self-knowledge only. And once you know - well, you just know and through that understanding, You can do anything and everything. The fear and confusion has to be replaced with clarity and trust. The easiest way to feel good is to extend a smile, a kind word, or a positive nod to as many people as possible, every day. Live every single moment of life knowing that absolutely everything that has ever happened, is now happening or ever will happen anywhere within your present life space is for your very best and highest good always. Live life to love it & Love life to live it". This way our soul does not get covered by sheaths of evils Focus on that understanding of Soul rather than daydreaming. Wait to even think about any response and really hear. If you feel that no response is forthcoming then mend your broken Heart.Don’t be a monolouge but be in Dialouge with your own self.Do not leave the mind idle.Body can have rest but don’t allow mind to take rest. If your life stops working, look for a simple truth you “forgot” to tell yourself. Sometimes it’s a truth you are trying to hide from yourself, and sometimes it is a truth you are trying to hide from others. If you look underneath the major mess in anyone’s life, you will usually find a truth that did not get told. U cannot write poem/article and keep it with you. Unless someone other than U enjoy that and comment the value of poem/article is not revealed. We can only thrive as human beings by being with others. We survive in a healthy way by surrounding ourselves with people who connect with us. The leaf needs the branch. The branch needs the trunk. The trunk needs the roots. The roots also need the rest of the tree. We souls are all connected like that. In that connection we find real life. The soul has a twofold purpose in each lifetime: (1) the universal purpose (2) an individual purpose. The latter enables the soul to help itself and other souls more easily rediscover Love. In other words, your individual purpose is the best way to promote the universal purpose. Each of us can do something totally unique. The challenge is to discover your supreme soul "niche" on earth, so you can realize your potential for happiness. If you live untrue to this niche, your energy will be unaligned with the Universal Energy, and you are likely to feel something missing in your life like what most of us miss ourself with happiness now!!!... You’ll experience a feeling of dissonance, which can lead to disease and disaster. The rewards of living your soul’s purpose go far beyond money. If you think you’d retire, you may just be burned out. You never need to retire from Love and affection. You can always serve your purpose and enjoy what you are doing and how you are doing it for a lifetime. When you are concerned to your soul purpose, your life becomes easier and more satisfying and rewarding. Why? Because you are no longer operating as an isolated individual out of tune with the Universe. Instead, you are working with the Universe, consciously connected to the Universal Mind and utilizing the vast potential of the energy around you. When you find your true purpose, the Universe has no choice but to help you by providing information and energy.Here I apologise all present Gurus ,Sanyasys,Religious heads enacting themselves to be a guide to attain salvation Charging a soul for

a material sum to teach meditation,keep themselves healthy and wealthy at corporate level and ways to attain mukthi- the liberation. No Swamy/Guru/sanyasi/in had given free of service to the soul to become perfect in this world.As long as the the present souls are subject to mesmerism and bogus teachings none on earth can attain salvation. "Knowledge is given neither from outside nor from another person like Guru or some one.Guru-Chela parampara has been started with vested interests not only in Politics but also in all fields of religion.Knoledge can be realised by each and everyone in his own Heart. The jnana Guru of everyone is only the Supreme Self that is always revealing its own truth in every Heart through the being-consciousness 'I am, I am.' The granting of true knowledge by Supreme Soul is initiation into Knowledge (jnana). The grace of the Guru is only that Self-awareness that is one's own true nature. There is no separate identity as Guru as is the case of today’s Guru shishya parampara and establishing an empire with billions and millions of dollars/Rupees and a gang of thugs to run cheap politics all in the name of spirituality or religion. It is the inner conciousness by which Supreme soul is unceasingly revealing His existence to we souls. This divine upadesa is always going on naturally in everyone."Its we who have to unearth with our conscious efforts.There are pearls under the sea, but one must take risk to find them.With once diving if you don’t find you do not conclude that the sea is without them. Dive again and again. You are sure to be rewarded in the end. So is it with the self and supreme self. If your first attempt proves fruitless, do not lose heart. Persevere in your efforts. You are sure to realize yrself and Him at last." By believing the so called gurus we only end up with what we are today. Religious heads are becoming the decision makers of politics in one way or the other. We have no concern with their activities but we are concerned with the failure of trust we have with them in the name of religion. Let us all unite to vibrate our souls to ward off such evil doers in the name of Almighty. Regarding knowledge and true knowledge we will discuss at a later date. Now lets know what is a Soul and how does it function apart from the supreme soul. Each one of us is a soul identified person. Also a human being created on earth due to biological process.. Man becomes soul identified person if he shows humanity in character. It is this which makes him a real person. There are many difficult things in life, but the most difficult of all is to learn and to know and to practice the art of personality.We say Supreme soul created the nature and we souls created the art.Not like that.It is the supreme soul who completes his divine art also.Lord Rama did not teach morals to the human being but he himself was morale in toto.To day the teachers of divine moral to the society are not of what they teach. When a soul gets into itself inwardly all the answers are explicitely clear and needs no Guru though the Guru shishya paramapara started with a selfish motive.

Now let me tell you the nature of the soul.It is the Headmaster of a school.School’s function will be on the directions of the headmaster.So he is the soul of that school. Same is the case with our individual soul. The soul governs and directs our being as a human and plays a pivotal role. Secrecy is that soul cannot be seen but experienced and realized as we cannot see electricity but its existence can be felt by lit bulbs and running fan etc.This power in an individual is the soul or Jivatma. When it is universal consciousness or Supreme Soul, it is called Paramatman. However, we should clearly understand that for electricity which lights up a zero watts bulb or 5Kilowatt Motor, the source of energy is the same; only the consumption and performance vary. Likewise individual and cosmic souls are inseparable entities.Soul can be non sensed or from one to six sensed upto human level. When a soul is polished/purified to the level of 16 senses in full it is Supreme soul- as was Rama who possessed the 16senses(Shodas gunas). The difference between the animate and inanimate is the consciousness or chaitanya. The five sense organs are the soul's agents or windows to obtain knowledge and to gauge the subtle aspect of any given thing. For example, to see, we have eyes but who sees is the soul. For hearing, we have ears but it is the soul that hears. This journey from gross to subtle with consciousness is the play of the soul. If this consciousness departs from the body it becomes a corpse. This is the relation between the soul and the body. The soul is the pivotal hinge whereupon the body functions with consciousness or chaitanya. The human body is made of perishable elements and therefore impermanent in nature, but the power that dwells within is imperishable; is eternal. It is to be remembered that the real self is part of that super-soul that is never born nor dies and is eternal. The body after death return "unto dust" and the soul meets the cosmic soul or Paramatman. Merger of the pure individual soul with the cosmic soul is the sole aim of human life. The body is ours but we are not the body. We are an inseparable part of the supreme. Just as a grain of sand is sand or a drop of water is water, likewise part of Paramatman is Jivatma. We are eternal.

Yet, the body has four states and remains perishable. Childhood, youth and old age are seen as states of our body but not the state of our soul. Moreover there is a fourth state called death. The souls is simply the seer for whom there is no fear of death! The soul is eternal truth that is immortal and imperishable. The soul is pure and sacred. The soul is embodiment of all knowledge.Supreme soul resides in the heart of all souls be it ameba to six sensed creatures causing them to revolve according to their karma by His illusive power." You may ask. Does Supreme soul exist? I don't know. Rather than take up a position, I prefer to live in the question. "I wonder if there is a supreme soul;" seems to me a much more honest, mind-expanding and perhaps even pious position than saying, "I simply believe there is a supreme soul and that's the end of it." Or, "I see no evidence for supreme soul, therefore He/She/It does not exist."but the truth is that it is still a mystery. People search for supreme soul in scriptures, rituals and contemplation, while He reveals himself daily through the love they feel towards each other." "A life without a vow is like a ship without the anchor, or like a temple built on sand instead of solid rock. Your salvation is not up to supreme soul, it is up to you. Supreme soul has given you everything. What of yourself are you willing to give?" Make your life very exciting, but always think of it as fun. Adversities as well as the harmony should be enjoyable. Don't become sober and depressed and have a castor oil face in the name of spirituality. Just be happy. Even if you make a mistake, say, "Hey, I did this? Great! What a wonderful lesson I learned!". The true universe is inside, while the exterior world is but a reflection, like a mirror image." Love is the missing factor in most people's lives. They lack that tenderness, that kindliness, that mercy in relationship, and so they join a society for culture and world reconstruction which produces nothing because they have nothing to give but words. The mind and heart are filled with plans for world reconstruction but empty of that one ingredient without which there is no solving of any problems. The problem is with relationship, not with systems, blue prints and so-called reforms. You have one reform after another. You form one organisation after another on the same lines of you previous failures, and this goes on incessantly because there is not that ingredient of goodwill and love which alone can solve problems. Without love no problem can ever be solved, no matter how brilliant the mind may be. If there is no relationship with one another, we continue to create further confusion."Todays world with terrorism is due to this fact.In our day to day lives ,everybody is expecting to be happy by modern gadgets,by objects,by the people around or by making money.But the experience in reality is always something different.No doubt the facilities and arrangements around do comfort our body and ease our day to day activities of life,but then why many a times even a healthy wealthy person feels unhappy.One needs to contemplate where does happiness actually originate from.The truth is happiness is within us.Finding it within can make a person always happy. Happiness is a nature of the omnipresent consiousness,meaning it is connection constantly dependent upon one's previous actions.Happiness basically is a state of beingness of one's True self.The progress of any nation is dependent on the fully developed personality of its citizens, of which youth comprise a significant proportion. The personality of youth is highly influenced by education. However, worldwide, the current education system is not structured to develop the personality of students, and does not guide them towards a purposeful path of life, through which they can live happily and peacefully, as well as be competent enough to fight difficulties. In the olden times, Indian universities such as Nalanda and Takshashila accomplished the task of guiding students in the right direction, by imparting spiritual knowledge on a practical basis, i.e. how ideals can be incorporated in personality considering the prevalent trends in the society. There are various layers of the cosmos, just as there are layers of the individual inside. We call them - the physical sheath, the vital sheath, the mental sheath, the intellectual sheath and the casual sheath. Corresponding to these sheaths there are the planes of existence - outwardly, cosmically, universally - and these are the regions into which the soul enters as a citizen thereof. Rebirth need not necessarily mean coming back to this world. Rebirth is a compulsion to take a form and the inability to exist as the formless Absolute. The necessity to enter into a form arises on account of the impulsions of desire which are the forces that constitute the individuality of a person. A desire is a power or force which asserts the need to retain individuality in some manner or other. The individuality need not necessarily be of a physical type. There are various degrees of individuality - nevertheless they are individualities, and the degrees vary according to the degree of the particular plane of existence into which the individual is thrown by the power of the evolutionary process itself, which is called rebirth. So rebirth is not necessarily a coming back to this

world. It may be that, or it may not be that. It can be a higher ascent also, but even then it is rebirth. Anything is rebirth if it is short of God-realisation, Even if one reaches the highest seventh plane of the cosmos, which here is called the region of the Creator, there is a necessity to come back. Then how long our soul will take to join the supreme soul? Love is a powerful force. it provides the greatest happiness many of us have ever known.Soul’s love to supreme soul has to be so pure and attractive like a magnet to iron filings. Soul has to surrender totally to supreme soul."True love is like quick-silver," If you hold it in the palm of your hand, it will remain. If you try to grasp it, it will slip through your fingers." Perhaps this is what Jesus meant when he said, "Whoever will save his life will lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." In other words, when we cling to life to live only for ourselves or cling to another person out of our overdependent need, we lose what we need the most: Love. This is because we have mistaken need for love. Only as we let go of unhealthy need, are we free to love. In other words, do I love you because I need you or do I need you because I love you? The first is unhealthy and immature; the second is healthy and mature.Only as we learn to love without strings attached do we find genuine love and the fullness of life.Instead of living "When we fail to follow truth fully, we end up dying slowly."For truthfull living you need self control.

We admire God, we fear God, and we adore God because of His largeness, His greatness, His magnificence, His transcendentalness, and the tremendous difference between Him and ourselves, which is automatically accepted by our finitude and His infinitude. If this is the case, how can we reach God? God created the world and He is immensely present in the various facets of creation. The destiny of the soul seems to be very precarious and awe-inspiring. There is a fear in us - what will happen to us after we shed this body? It is very clear to every finite human being that God is unreachable for all practical purposes, because of the transcendentalness which is implied in His existence. He is far above the whole of creation. The arms of man cannot touch His Being. But, if this is the circumstance in which the finite individual is placed, it is really a matter of concern for everyone. There is a hope for even the finite individual. God can be reached after the shedding of this body by deep concentration, and the last thought is supposed to be the force that decides the nature of the experiences of the soul in the hereafter. Now, the passage of the soul after the disassociation of itself from this body is the subject of various branches in philosophy. "One who is wholly absorbed in the thought of God reaches God," The supreme stage is reached by that individual or soul who is enabled to entertain the thought of the Supreme Being. If such meditations would be possible at the last moment, as the result of our devout life that we have led in this sojourn on earth, the attainment of God is certain. There is no doubt about this. If that is not to be attained, if there is any obstacle, if for some reason or the other it has not become possible for an individual to retain the thought of God, because it is not possible for everyone to retain the thought of God at the moment of passing - what happens to such a person? Such a person will be involved in the lower planes of existence, from which there is a reversion into the level from which one has risen. There is temporality infecting every layer of the cosmos. There is only one timeless existence, the supreme Absolute, and whoever finds it difficult to reach this state of timeless eternity, which is God-Being, finds himself in the process of time. One may reach any plane of existence, even if it be higher than the earthly one that cannot be regarded as the salvation of the soul. Wherever there is a compulsion exerted upon us by a procession of powers or forces, where the evolutionary urge pulls and pushes us in the direction in which it moves, we remain not a master of

ourself. One who is not a master of himself is not an independent person, and one who is not independent has not attained freedom, and freedom is salvation. So whoever is involved in the process of the universe cannot be regarded as a liberated spirit. We say Supreme soul is Omnipotent. Omnipresent. Omniscient. These are recognized by all as the universal attributes of supreme soul .Every being,everything and everybody are…in the name of supreme soul—and that 'authentic' path, which might lead Man to this Supreme Being.. !!! But Who or what is Supreme soul and for that matter, which is the one 'true' path to this Divine Soul? Should we meditate on a formless Supreme Being or worship a Divine idol? Better still, should we realize Him within our very own selves? These questions have plagued mankind may be with animal kind also down the ages and continue to do so till date, so much so that nations are erected in His name, wars fought and innocents massacred! First of all no one should thrust supreme soul into our human minds when they are not ready for it. The great Master- the supreme soul knows the needs of the various layers of the human personality, and so layer after layer has to be peeled off until the internal kernel is reached. We have to find out, gradually, what that kernel is, as we incessantly proceed further and further. When we speak of the supreme soul as the Creator of the universe we do not imagine, even with the farthest stretch of our minds, that supreme soul does not retain His transcendentalness. Supreme soul is above the universe of universes. He is an unreachable magnificence, a tremendous force that attracts our awe and admiration, and frightens us with its might and greatness. We are taught by our senior souls that one should have fear on God and we call him Godfearing -meaning the soul will lead a conductfull life fearing that God may impose on us life of hell.We are also taught to fully love God to lead a heavenlylife .How can a soul have fear and love both together.We are afraid of God in the beginning. The very idea of God frightens most of us because of the force, the power and the immensity that is associated with God's existence. Self control is meant for conservation of life-force and utilising it for elevation of soul to higher levels of consciousness. The three outlets through which about 80% of this vital force continues to leak out of human body are: indulgence in delicious food, intemperate utterances and sexual distractions and actions. The moment these are controlled, the doors to progress open.Self-control, however, does not simply mean control on sensory organs and the thought process. The field of self-control encompasses control on misuse of all types of resources. For instance, one is advised to utilize each and every moment of life judiciously right from leaving the bed in the morning till one falls asleep. Other self-controls are maintenance of balance in physical labour, honest earnings i.e. taking a livelihood based on just and lawful means of production and expenditure of earnings for noble purposes. Amongst all these, control on sensory organs is of prime importance. Saints and theological experts have many things to say about these passages of the soul, especially in connection with the status of the soul in brahma-loka. Is there a possibility of coming back, or is it only a penultimate step to reach the supreme Absolute? Can any seer throw any light on this difficulty. It is very short and pithy; it merely makes a statement of this kind and leaves us to consider its meaning in any way we like. But great thinkers, scholars, saints and sages who have pondered over this subject tell us that the region called brahma-loka, or the region of the Creator, is to be distinguished from the nature of the Absolute. Generally we do not make this distinction when we speak of God the Creator. In ordinary religious parlance the two are identified. When we speak of God as the Creator of the universe, we do not imagine or imply thereby that there is something superior to this concept of Creator. For the purposes of popular religion, they are the same. But a distinction is drawn. Metaphysical and philosophical definitions are given in respect of these stages, into the details of which we need not enter here. The sum and substance of the opinions of these exponents is that there are two kinds of people who reside in brahma-loka, just as there can be two kinds of people living in a country - citizens and visa holders, for instance. Citizens of a country are of one kind, and visa holders are of a different type. Both live in the same country, and perhaps they have all the facilities that are available in this country - they can travel in the same coach, they can eat the same food, they can breathe the same air - they are practically the same in every respect. But their visas can expire, whereas citizens have no such problem of expiry of their tenure of stay in the country. This distinction is drawn by exponents of this particular subject of the status of souls in brahma-loka. Commentators on the Gita, like Madhusudan Saraswati for instance, tell us that upasakas or worshippers who perform meditation unselfishly, without any kind of desire, do not come back, though they may reach brahma-loka and pass through that stage as a necessary condition of the further attainment of utter immortality, about which we shall speak a little later. But there are residents in brahma-loka like Sanaka,

Sanatana, Santakumara, Narada, etc. - they are not visa holders. They have not migrated from one country to another and they have not risen from one level to another. They were there right from the time of creation itself and they have no such fear of coming back. Also there is no fear of coming back in respect of those souls who have unselfishly meditated or performed upasana, even with the acceptance of the transcendentalness of God. The whole difficulty arises on account of this peculiar thought in our minds, namely, the transcendentalness of God, the otherworldliness of God and the immensity of God as contradistinguished from the finitude of the individual who performs the worship or devotion. The departure of the soul is discussed in Gita and it does not tell us that it is possible to attain God in this life, because it does not want to tell us everything at the same time. It wants to go stage by stage, taking us by the hand from one level to the other without frightening us in any manner. The soul's departure is immediately decided when there is disassociation of consciousness from the material body, and in a way we may say it is decided even now. Teachers like Patanjali tell us that even when we are born, what will happen to us in the future is already written on our souls. Even the time of our death is already decided when we are still in the womb of our mother. The conditions through which we have to pass in our life also are already stated and decided, and the circumstances into which we are born in this world are also decided. Jati, ayu, bhoga - these three things have already been decided even when we are inside the womb of the mother. This means to say that the termination of our life has also been decided, which indirectly implies that what will happen to us later on has already been decided. Everything seems to be contained in the Will of God in a cosmical manner. Wonderful it is to think of. The departure of the soul, therefore, is through various passages. Particular mention is made in the eighth chapter of what are commonly known as the devayana and the pitriyana margas, the Northern Path as it is called, or the Southern Path - the path of light, and the path of smoke or the path of darkness. There is departure, which means to say there is movement. The necessity for movement of the soul arises on account of the distance that exists between itself and the destination that it has to reach. If we accept that there is such a thing called distance, space and time, we also have to accept the necessity for travel. We already take for granted that there is such a thing called space, and therefore we have to also accept what is called distance. Space is distance, dimension, and measure, and all of us here perhaps have faith and the need to accept the distance of God from us in some way. It may differ from one person to another person, as far as the nature of the concept is concerned, but we accept that there is some sort of a difference and distance between ourselves and the Supreme Being, whether it is a qualitative distance or difference, or it is a quantitative one - sometimes it is both. Our conviction and acceptance of the fact that there is a distance between us and God is the reason for the departure of the soul from the body in some direction, and the direction that it takes depends upon the thoughts it entertained in this life. Generally, the deciding factor is the nature of the desire. Desire is related to the requirement and that is entirely different from your wanting and needs. We can obtain what we desire and require because it is never out of reach.But wanting imply that something is seriously lacking in your life.Likelyhood of getting it will be doubtfull.Need is also equally worse. Imagine how life is when you don't have, and aren't likely to get, something that is vitally important to you.In reality every soul is rich and resourcefull beyond our imagination.You get everything in this universe. No desire can go unfulfilled - that is the law of desire. Strong or weak, it does not matter. Whatever form you contemplate in your mind as the objective of your desire, that you shall reach, attain, enjoy and possess - if not in this life then in the next life. No desire can be destroyed. It is an energy, and the principle of conservation of energy will tell you that desire cannot be destroyed. If desires and hopes cannot be destroyed, they should be regarded as immortal, at least in a relative sense. They are immortal as long as they are not fulfilled. Just as the creditor is always there as long as you cannot pay your debts, the desires pursue you wherever you go. Buddhist philosophy says... Samyak Ahar, samyak vichar for body have a balanced diet and another thing never curb your desires. The more you curb them the more you'll crave for them and more you'll be diverted.For soul be yourself and never fall below par in front of your conscience. Everyday see yourself inside without regretting for anything. Fundamentally, each of us is created in the exact likeness of divinity: absolute clarity. This absolute clarity, the foundation of Mind, cannot be altered by anything although its affect can be eclipsed by fear and intellectualism. Only out of absolute clarity of mind can Mind experience wealth beyond all understanding.You may reach the seventh heaven, but before you reach there the desire is already waiting for you. "What do you say about me," it will ask you. And so you are gravitated automatically, by the pull of this toss of your desires, to the point or place where alone it is possible for you to fulfil your desires. There is no dearth of resources in the universe. It is immensely rich and can fulfil any desire of any person. It will never say 'no' to any individual. It will not say, "I am sorry, I have not got it." Whatever you ask for is present in the universe. As a matter of fact, you cannot think of anything that is not in the universe. So all your

desires concern what is present in the universe somewhere or the other - it may be in this plane or in another plane. So you will be suddenly taken like a rocket, as it were - a tremendous force, and the energy that drives that rocket is desire itself. The rocket is your own subtle body, and you are driven to that place where you will fulfil your desire, either fully or partially, according to the intensity of the desire. If the desire is intense positive or negative - sometimes the fulfilment is seen in this very birth. In this very life you can fulfil your desires, provided the desire is terrific, uncontrollable, immense and it has overwhelmed you and inundated you. If the desire is so intense, whether it is virtuous or otherwise, you will see the consequence of it in this very birth. But if it is not so strong, you will reap the fruit thereof later on, in some other plane of existence, some other kind of circumstance where the conditions will be favourable for the fructification of this desire. Great souls, pious persons, devotees who have retained the concepts of the transcendenality of Supreme soul, the other-worldliness of God in one sense, to put it more precisely, will reach God through the various stages of the ascent which are described in the scriptures such as the Upanishads and expounded in the Brahma Sutras, etc of Hindu Dharma. They go from one light to another light, from dimmer light to brighter light, until the brightest light of the highest heaven is reached. Ie Supreme soul. Unselfish devotees do not come back, but those who have desires of some type or other will have to be retained in that condition until their desires are fulfilled. Often our devotions to God are connected with some ulterior desires. Many of us will be finding it difficult to imagine what unselfish devotion to God can be. We may accept theoretically that unselfish devotion to God is the only real and true devotion. But our mind is so made that it cannot understand what unselfishness is, because there cannot be any kind of effort without an intention behind it, and this intention decides whether it is unselfish or otherwise. To seek something from God is the essence of the principle of selfishness that enters into the devotion to God. All prayers to God in all the religions have something to tell God. We convey a message to God. The necessity to convey a message to God again implies our suspicion that He is away from us, distant and transcendent still, and He requires to be told that something has to be done. That is the meaning of prayer. But that need not necessarily be the meaning of prayer. Prayer can be an overwhelming, indwelling of God Himself in our soul - the soul getting invaded by the presence of God. The soul getting possessed by the omnipresence of God can also be devotion, and there one cannot expect anything from God other than the presence of God Himself. We are used to expecting things, and therefore we are also used to utilising persons and things as means for the fulfilment of our expectations. So the very defect in which the human mind is involved transfers its usual ways of the envisagement of values even to God Himself, and while it asks for small things from small persons, it asks for large things from God. The highest devotion is-- not an asking of anything from God!!!. Then, any kind of ulterior asking ceases in the processes of the mind - it becomes totally selfless. The abolition of individual selfhood in gradual stages is the rise of devotion from the lower level to the higher level, called parabhakti or supreme devotion to God, which is identical with the wisdom of God - inseparable ultimately from the realisation of God Himself. There are two passages of the soul - the light and the smoke. There is a possibility of going up gradually with no return, and there is also an ascent for the purpose of returning. The soul reaches regions higher and higher until it becomes impossible for it to retain its individuality. That is the way to moksha or salvation by the progressive method of ascent, known as kramamukti. But those souls who are involved a in life of activity for the purpose of profit of one kind or the other, who are not devotees in a truly religious sense but participants in religion for the purpose of attaining earthly goods and recognition of some type or other, will have this desire fulfiled and they will revert to the place from where they started. The Upanishads have given us more details about these paths than we find in the Bhagavadgita, and there are possibilities of the soul getting into different kinds of involvement even after the shedding of this body. There need not be only two paths; there can be many other wanderings of the soul in various other fields of experience due to the complexity of desires. All desires have to end if God is to be reached finally. That ending of desire is the immediate salvation of the soul. This is what is known as sadyomukti or the entry of the soul into the Supreme Being at once, here itself. There is no travel, no passage of the soul after death, and no reincarnation, nothing of this kind - no rebirth because the soul is immortal and is not conditioned by the process of the material evolution. The power of the universe does not affect it any more, because its experience is not involved in space, time and causation. There is no externalisation of the consciousness of the spirit; there is only a universalisation of it and not externalisation. This attainment of the universality of spirit is known as sadyomukti or immediate salvation. It is immediate because the Universal is present everywhere. There is no need to travel to the Universal, because no concepts of space and time are there. Even the concepts of space and time are involved in Universality, and are swallowed by it. Those who have attuned themselves to the Universal, whose lives are in harmony with the requirements of the law of the Universal, are liberated here itself. One need not wait for liberation after death. All souls irrespective of their birth deserve equal treatment and sympathy Equality, liberty, faternity. Only human souls have a distinctive quality of analyzing and understanding.Though all souls are born with a survival instinct,Human soul only has an amazing quality of quest for abundance.We refuse to be what we

are. Animal souls are not greedy. They are satisfied once their basic needs are met with. Whereas man is the only being who is greedy to enjoy this materialistic world by hook or crook.At the same time he also suffers from the fear of death. That is why he has created a variety of Gods and deities. Even his love and devotion is a kind of bargain. We witness this all over especially at Thirumala temple-richest temple in the world-where the Deity is worshiped for material benefits and sort of commission by way of Gold and currency and is put in Hundis. What a surprise! Whole universe is created by him as illusion to us and he is the owner of all wealth. But when one succeeds in his business/venture, portion of profit is apportioned to God. We are in this world to play our part - good or bad... but to make it good or bad is controllable by us.. We can change our destinies by our own hands. Good and bad are often context dependent too. The same activity, say sky jumping, can be entertainment to one person, stressful but safe exercise to another, and fatal to someone else. "Where to begin? The most common questions are about karm and rebirth and the mechanism of rebirth. I usually treat this in some detail, making analogies between karm and the laws of physics (such as Newton's third law of motion), emphasizing that the body is the vehicle for the soul's growth and experience and that our true identity is ultimately not physical but divine." What is the primary purpose of our life as a common human being? The world is created by the God as an illution.There is Maya all around and humans are bound to get attracted and try seeking pleasure in it.There is a region in the the divine world which is beyond Maya and where there is no pull. Achieving that region tell you the worthlessness of this world.The path to it is not known to us but few know it.Humans go to hell or heaven depending on their 'Karmas' and these karmas (depending upon being good or bad) opens up the next chapter of their soul(which gets directly affected by the karmas of the body).And this can be heaven, hell, reborn as an animal or as a human.Kal-Chakra, as it is called continues to keep us in its limits, freeing up from it makes the soul leave the world of Maya and the soul merges with the GOD. Now the Question - purpose of being a Human being. Enjoy Maya if you think life is what you spend on earth, enlighten your soul and cleanse it by doing good Karmas if you want to take care of what happens to it in the ages to come, try finding the path which helps us leave Maya and hence this trecherous world. Its all MAYA.. God's fictional story being played by us! (atheists may not agree on this and might have their own theory) we are in this world to act good, to live in a peaceful way, as God said "Allah dont like the people who spread violence on this earth", to help other humans for pleasing God, "all the creations are like the family of God, so be nice to them to please Him, feed them when they are hungry", to remember Him and to be thankful for the things He has granted us, so that we all will go to heaven happily.This is the point of view of Islam & so as We feel. Humans are superior to any creation and the earth is their examination hall .Nature (or God, Maya, Jesus,Allah...) created us as an experiment (at least, biologically), for us to try and know if we can, as a species, live along with it.All the forms of life are nothing but a form of energy...the very concept of Athma has originated from that...aatma is nothing but energy...when we die...this energy gets liberated(from all the living cells of our body)...because all of you must be knowing that this world is made of just two things---matter and energy...and both of them are interrelated...right now we are matter...after death we will be turned to nothing but energy...there is no diff between us and the rest of animals...in the eyes of god all are same...its we the humans who always think this way...just because we need to fulfill our needs...and history is an evidence of the fact that humans are the most selfish of all the animals... we are here in this world for our selfish desire to fulfill , distroy nature in the name development and self desire , fulfill irrational dreams.There is no love with this nature. But nature takes care of us , Never allow to cross limits , if we cross limts then there is earthquakes , psunamis, katerina etc etc.which for some time makes us to go back to roots , philosophy but what next again same.no learning from past.So the equation is always balanced.nature vs human deeds.so dont allow nature to balance the equations , we ourselves need to take care of equation in balanced state and that is why we are in this world . The working of the cosmos is dependent on naturalisms. Naturalism is one of the interpretations of universe. In order to understand the working of the universe we will have to accept the fact that universe is divided into two parts- the physical world and the world of consciousness. Then the interrelationship of these two parts of the universe should be understood without seeking the help of any system of faith. Because faith complexity is a relentless enemy of Human understanding.. being selfish is not wrong...as long as it doest effects other's freedom...man is selfish animal...and there is nothing wrong in this...(I don't know if its all part of God's experiment). ONE SUPREME TRUTH IS THAT WE ARE HERE TO DIE. Time is changing.people are In Transition.People have begin to hate and deceive.People have becomes naked violent. We are losing hope.Women & Children's are living in Terrible Darkness. All life on earth was created scientifically by Extra-terrestrials with mastery of Genetic Engineering and DNA ' In their own image.They are the ELOHIM of the Bible wrongly translated for God, Elohim being a plural and means

'Those who came from the sky'. The ELOHIM decided to leave us progress alone and sent prophets to help us out and leave traces of their creation. Moses, Buddha, , Krishna, Mahaveer, chaitanya, Jesus, Lao-Tzu (Taoism),40 prophets in all, were contacted by them to show us wisdom and love of each others until we reach the age of science, where we could understand it all. Jesus resurrection was an advanced form of cloning. Today we are advanced enough scientifically to finally understand the truth about our origins, without mystification, but rational understanding.

The real truth is that we originated from GOD the supreme soul.As his play he scattered his own into the nature just like mustard seeds are dropped from your hand and waiting to retrieve.But all according to his own Play rules.He never disclosed the rules to souls but gave freedom to discover on its own.In every research and investigation on our origin,it directs its inquiry according to the rulesof supreme soul GOD. At all events, you can show us no more powerful expounder of the soul than the Author thereof. From God you may learn about that which you hold of God; but from none else will you get this knowledge, if you get it not from God. For who is to reveal that which God has hidden? To that quarter must we resort in our inquiries whence we are most safe even in deriving our ignorance. For it is really better for us not to know a thing, because He has not revealed it to us, than to know it according to man's wisdom, because he has been bold enough to assume it. Each time you choose to listen to your inner voice (or your sixth sense), you strengthen your commitment to live an authentic, self-directed, and personally empowered life. Your inner voice is communicated through subtle vibrations pulsating throughout your body, otherwise known as “vibes.”
